Nicole Arenot.. FWTT´S #4 in singles and #2 in doubles retires

We were informaed yesterday by Nicole that she was retiring before next year´s season started.. She said thanks to everybody.

We are surprised and dont know the reasons but we know it must be serious and we all are with her.

New York Exhibition is giving Nicole her last matches. And tomorrow will play with doubles partner Huubere against couple De la Courtiere/Sorrenta. Arenot will also be playing her last singles match.

With this commitments have moved as FWTT Said. Also Australian Open commitments where out today.

British Hyundai Hopman Cup has also suffered because of it as Arenot and Tom Henman have withdrew... sources tell that there are rummors that Larisa Ferrer and Michael Moore are taking the spot and others say that Paula Masterton will also take it along with Greg Rusedski.

Australian Jelena Dokic former #1 in doubles now is also looking for a doubles partner as she was supposed to play with Arenot in season 2002 as she and her ex partner Zubir have splitted.
